LGBTQ* Pride Month is celebrated in June in the United States to commemorate the resistance of gay, lesbian, and transgender patrons to an undercover police raid on New York City’s Stonewall Bar on June 28, 1969. The humane recognition and legal protection of LGBTQ people has come a long way in the five decades since Stonewall, and Pride is an important reminder of this progress—as well as a call to further action.
